BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Hub launches specialty practices

Hub International Ltd. said Monday it is launching eight specialty insurance practices.

Hub said in a statement that its first specialty practices include transportation, financial institutions, entertainment-sports, construction, agriculture, hospitality, real estate and health care.

The Chicago-based broker said it selected the industries based on position for growth, depth of expertise and strength of industry value proposition, and where it has a substantial portfolio of clients.

The company said Hub Specialties are based on a model that will allow the brokerage to scale and establish future industry specialties based on regional needs and client demands.
